Stahlhelm
Hello,
new add to my collection is this Stahlhelm buckle :
Question US Boyt machete - I’ve never seen one like this before?
HI All,
My father bought this in 1955 to cut down some wild bamboo - he loaned it to a friend and never got it back. A couple of years ago they met again and the friend said " I’ve still got your old machete - want it back?" Dad said, No, but my son would love it …. and here it is, barely used and NEVER sharpened!!

Nearly all the ones I see are the bolo type, this is quite different. The overall length is 25" with a 19" blade. There are no markings on the blade but only AB with an arrow over the letters on the wood handle. Quite heavy, this would pack a punch!
Anyone know some history on this type?
Thanks, Dan
Question SS cap..Real or Fake?
I wonder what you guys think? Does it look ok?Ive a chance to buy it, Thanks:)
A Salty Dog
Here is a salty lid. NS64 single decal Heer. Suffered a crack somewhere along the way. Still a nice looking lid, I think.
WW2 Australian Service Tunic
Here is my first tunic into the collection. Have wanted one for awhile and its surprising how much they seem to go for. Finally got the style I was wanting for a decent price and it arrived yesterday afternoon
Its a 1943, 4 pocket wool service tunic. I was a little worried it was going to be the later 43 version with the internal bottom pockets but was happy its in the earlier configuration. Manufacturer is S.146. Its a small size but looks unissued, even has the size tag still attached
Now the fun part starts, putting it together. I am looking for buttons, shoulder titles, and collar badges. Also would love a slouch hat but I know its gonna be harder to get.
I wanting to put it together as a 2/11th West Australian Battalion, my wife’s granddad served with them during WW2 and was a POW in Germany,so anyone with anything from them would be great 
(I know I am pushing my luck).
Cheers guys, will keep this thread updated with progress.
